Comic Lettering

Roman Sehrer, a seasoned German advertising professional, has digitized his handwriting to create a family of three fonts to meet your free-feeling and laid back design needs. Sehrer recommends that you try this family out on posters, logos, and restaurant menus, where in each case it will offer a great combination and contrast to traditional sans serifs like Helveticaor like Univers.

Providence was first drawn in 1987 to set lines in a comic book series – FF Providence Sans for the dialog, and its serif companion for running narrative. In 1994 the typefaces were revisited, adding weights and a set of dingbats, and named after the designer’s home town in Rhode Island, USA.
